title: Infant massage for children with disabilities and special needs.
abstract: Baby massage is a wonderful way for parents to use positive touch. This gives the opportunity for special time together, incorporating not only the massage but also therapeutic hugs and holds, fun with nursery rhymes and music. Baby massage is also a fantastic way for parents to learn how their baby communicates with them, enabling parents to understand what their baby wants and comfort them with loving touch.
